Essie - Naughty Nautical

Essie's Naughty Nautical is from their summer 2013 collection. I picked it up this summer, after going to Rite Aid with the intention of purchasing Ruffles and Feathers from the 2014 summer collection and deciding I liked Naughty Nautical better. It also made the list of my 5 favorite summer polishes in my YouTube video.

Outdoors, Sunlight

Naughty Nautical is a pretty blue green polish that has a very slight silvery shimmer to it. I found the shimmer to be more noticeable in the bottle than on the nails. In some of the pictures it causes the polish to look a little bubbly, but it doesn't come off like that in person. Indoor light seems to bring out the blue in this polish more than sunlight.

Indoors, Natural Light

The formula on this is very good and it was almost opaque in one coat, though did end up needing two. All photos are a coat of Nailtiques Formula 2, a base coat of Essie's Grow Stronger, 2 coats of polish, and a top coat of Seche Vite.
